The beach at Chatham, Cape Cod

We had some raspberry smoothies this morning and then we headed to Cape Cod. Left about 10:30. There is now a four-lane highway most of the length of the Cape. Arrived in Provincetown at about 12:30. Had lunch at the Lobster Hut on Cape Cod Bay. I was here about 25 years ago and remember it as a quaint, charming little town. Now it’s a busy, tacky, touristy nightmare. A real disappointment. We stopped at a beautiful beach before we hit Provincetown though. Beautiful sand doons covered with lush vegetation and beautiful flowers. The whole area is now a Seashore Recreation area and is protected. After leaving Provincetown we dropped down south on Rt. 28 and went through one cute little town after another. They were all established in the mid-1600s. Arrived back at the campground at 7:00.
